Modern Warfare 4 DMZ doesn't give you a parachute automatically anymore, as you might have found out the hard way.
They're now a loadout item you have to acquire, and they're not exactly lying around in every building.
Here's the shortened version of how you get them.
Scott Van Vliet’s demo of the Blades dashboard lit up social media, and Asha Sharma’s follow‑up asking fans if they “like this experiment” only amplified the excitement.
But it's also pretty clear: this is Blades on the web, not a console feature (at least not yet).
Should Xbox (sorry, XBOX) bring Blades back as an optional UX?
🤔

The idea that Xbox could be valued at up to $150B during private equity exploration is certainly eye-opening👀
It shows how much weight the brand carries today, and not just through hardware, but through content, cloud, and a massive player ecosystem that keeps growing.
Full story on what could have been (and thankfully is not happening)⤵️

Asking players to get a different monitor days before launching your AAA game is certainly a "choice", and a very wrong one at that.

I was ready to write off the Xbox Series S. Then AMD’s FSR 4.1 showed up.
If Helix really slips to 2028, this might be the best free upgrade Xbox could give current-gen owners. Here’s why I’m relieved (and the one big catch):

Another fan project brings cross-play support to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 between Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC, 17 years after its original launch.
It works, but the process isn't as straightforward as the original.

Microsoft announced the second batch of games coming to Xbox Game Pass for the remainder of October, with the headliner being the long-awaited addition of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade.

I've been investigating Forza Horizon 6 banning Itasha livery creators in Japan and other regions.

Microsoft has been issuing bans (temp and perma) for using anime-styled skins, and their guidelines and info on what constitutes ban-worthy skins is a bit vague.

So WHEN is the Xbox getting FSR 4.1?
Sooner than you might think.

'PlayPort' is a project that's bringing Windows PC gaming to iPhone, including titles from Steam, GOG, and Epic Games that run directly on Apple's hardware.
Portal 2, Hollow Knight, and The Witcher 3 are already 'working', but is it worth it?

The Xbox Ally handhelds and Xbox Series X|S consoles are about to get a big AMD-shaped performance boost, thanks to FSR 4.1.
Its flagship upscaling tech is coming "soon", but what does that really mean? Well, it's actually sooner than you might think.

Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a new 2.5 update this week, adding lots of new gameplay features that will be revealed during CD Projekt Red's REDStream today.

Modern Warfare 4's camo grind has changed things from the last couple of years, including the ability to speed up some of the early tiers.
You don't have to wait to do the special camos, you can work on them alongside the eight military ones and get going right now in DMZ.

REPORT: A 2027 handheld and a 2028 console give Xbox a clear direction, but the OS teams behind the scenes aren’t aligned on how the platform should work. Our reporting breaks down the internal struggle.
What we know:
windowscentral.com/gaming/xb…
I expected DMZ to feel familiar. It didn’t. MW4’s version is stranger, sharper, and more chaotic — in a good way.
My hands‑on impressions break down what’s changed.
